Eegees Flavor of the Month: Orange Dream
Ohhhhh yea! This is one of our favorite flavors ESPECIALLY when you start mixing in that ice cream and make it an orangesicle! 🍦 Move over ice cream man Eegee's is taking over this month!
Eegee's Deal of the Month: Hot Dog Combo
We love hot dogs. So we're down for this dealio this month. We're going to be over here chowing down the chili dog. Can we get some napkins? 🤤
eegee's has always been known for playing a prank on us for April Fools! This year they came out with a fake line of sweets using their ingredients.
The sweets include a Snickers like Grinder Bar, a Lettuce Fizzy Pop which is a mini head of lettuce covered in pop rocks and Jaw Breaker filled with Ranch called a Ranch Blaster.
We are pissed to hear the Grant/Alvernon Eegee's was robbed by a woman with a knife yesterday.
Not cool.
Tucson News Now reports:
"According to Sgt. Pete Dugan of the Tucson Police Department, a woman walked into the eegee's on East Grant Road and North Alvernon Way and demanded money."
Our favorite guys are back reviewing the January Healthylicious Campaign from eegee's. Seriously, if you have not seen this, you need to watch it. There's no guest speaker this week, but the sarcasm is on point.
The guys are reviewing the Healthylicious Sandwiches, the Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cookie and the new flavor of the month Pineapple Watermelon. It's the splash, the splash, complete with Jazz hands. So good.
HEALTHYLICIOUS
This covers the four turkey sandwiches that eegee's has to offer.
"They tend to be on the delicious side, not on the healthy side. Anything with ham and white bread, usually isn't considered healthy."
We couldn't agree more. You can't just think you're eating healthy, you must know what goes into your food.
Turkey D-Lite - This comes with wheat bread instead of white and fat-free house dressing. No cheese for you if you're trying to lose weight.

New campaign name Licious, there's nothing healthy about it. Eight inches of bread. Carb lovers dream.
Don't forget if you add fries and a drink you're consuming more calories. Small fries add 260 calories and a large fry is 390. Oh and if you add one cup of ranch dressing, pack on another 300 calories.
"If you've made a New Year's Resolution to lose weight we recommend you stay away from this sandwich." "Unless you've given up already... try it quitter."
dying.
FLAVOR OF THE MONTH
The new flavor of the month for eegee's is the Watermelon Pineapple Splash. Watermelon is a huge fan favorite. We even predicted this flavor would be a combination. Though is it a bit too good to be true? First, watermelon is watered down with pineapple.
The guys report that the flavor is a bit mild. You don't really even taste either of the fruits. It's a background flavor. It's the elevator jazz music. And we're just going to leave that one here.
Do you agree with the guys' opinion on this flavor? Let us know in the comments.
COOKIE OF THE MONTH
The cookie of the month is the Pecan Cinnamon Roll Cookie. It's a giant cookie with cinnamon, sugar and real pieces of pecans.
You can see Tim fall in love with this cookie starting with the first bite. He will be stocking up on this cookie to enjoy throughout the year!
Have you had the Cookie of the Month? What do you think of it? Let us know in the comments.
RECAP
The food is overall good. Turkey is a go to sandwich when you aren't feeling adventurous.
The new flavor is okay, but is more of a sugar crash than a flavor you could get excited about and get your watermelon fix until summer.
Finally, the cookie. It's on point. This is what you should be eating this month. MMmMMmmm Cookies. Cookie of the Year!
No one needs a New Year Resolution. Fast Food is the way to go!
Though if you do want to try and stay healthy there is a Salad of the Month the guys didn't get around to reviewing. Probably because real men don't eat foo foo salads. Watch that dressing ladies!
One final note, the sign off "Thank you for watching us eat." Should be your signature. Keep it.
We recently got an email from, who we are assuming is, eegee's advertising agency up in Phoenix. We were informed that eegee's is in fact coming out with a new flavor again this January.
Last year we had Red Licorice. This was somewhat of a controversy. A lot of people tried it, tweeted about it and at the end of the day it was a bit of a bust as a flavor.
As for the new flavor this new year, if it is in fact a new flavor, those hoping Galactic Grape or Banana Blush would come back are going to be sadly disappointed.
Do you think it's going to be a fruit flavor? or something random like Red Licorice? There are a few fruits that eegee's doesn't have in its arsenal including:
Passion Fruit
Kiwi
Pineapple by itself
Blueberry by itself
Grapefruit
Apricot
Guava
Plum
Papaya
Cranberry
Eegee's has been known for mixing flavors with berries, pineapple and lemon/lime. They also do a hodgepodge mashup to make their Jungle Juice. There are currently seven flavor mixes:
Cherry Pineapple (fun fact: a fan requested this to be made and so many people agreed, it came to life.)
Orange Pineapple
Blueberry Lemon
Cherry Limeade
Holly Berry
Jungle Juice
Peach N Berry
It's about time for a mix of flavors again, it's been too long. Could the new flavor be a mix of current flavors they already have? If the new January flavor is a mix of flavors, here are some flavors we think would mix the best:
Mango Pineapple
Apple Grape
Pineapple Watermelon
Strawberry Banana
Pomegranate Black Raspberry
Raspberry Lemonade
Eegee's could also throw everyone for a loop as they did back in January of 2015. Here are some flavors we think they could come out with that are not fruit related.
Cola
Popcorn
Pie (Pumpkin, Pecan)
Chocolate Mousse
Love Potion No. 9
Mexican Hot Chocolate
Let us know in the comments what you think the next flavor of the month is going to be. Also, if you work for eegee's and know any of the fun secrets shoot us an email at eegeeslove@gmail.com. All names are kept confidential.
If a new flavor doesn't excite you, you can order your own favorite flavor on the eegee's special order website. Here are the flavors you can order from eegee's:
UPDATE: As of January 1, 2017 eegee's no longer supports their secret menu. You are still able to get eegee's suicide style at select locations. If they don't know what you're talking about, educate them on what suicide style actually is.
--
We told you we had some insider information for the eegee's secret menu and here it is!
We found out from some inside sources that all the employees at eegee's are being trained to handle your secret menu needs. Tag us when you order and post photos of the secret menu items @eegeeslove.
TRASHCAN FRIES
Fries done right. They will literally put everything on top of a batch of fries. This includes cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives, banana peppers, ranch, and buffalo ranch.
THE ITALIANO
This sandwich will make you want to kiss your fingers like the Italians do. It's a Roast Beef Sandwich with some Marinara. Not the most Italian, but okay we'll go with it.
THE JUNKYARD
Think California Burrito only with an Eegee's Grinder. That's right, they load a grinder with fries. Open Mouth. Insert Junkyard.
MUTHA FUCKIN' GRINDER
Speaking of an Eegee's Grinder. This is the mother load, the mother-fuckin' grinder is 18" of grinder glory. Bring friends or eat it yourself. Note: It's really called the Big F'ing Grinder, but if you're going call it a fucking grinder, say fucking.
EL RANCHO STYLE
Ranch is eegee's most popular item, though the buffalo ranch is becoming a fan favorite. The El Rancho Style has the employees dumping both of these delectable condiments on your order.
HOT AF STYLE
Let's be honest, the Flaming Hot Chicken Sub eegee's showcased this year was anything but flaming hot. So they've introduced a Hot As Fuck Style to their arsenal. This style let's the employees know they should be adding jalapeños and buffalo ranch to your sandwich.
SUICIDE STYLE
Can't decide what eegee's flavor to get? Get them all.

Tucson.com has listed out the 12 Days of Christmas that can only be done in Tucson. Open your mouths and insert food.

It should be yours too. Eat up Tucson and check out which of your favorite Tucson places to eat made the list.
First, though, what would the list be without eegee's? Close to the bottom of the list, on the 10th day of Christmas, Tucson.com is recommending you head on over to eegee's for one of our deliciously cold fresh frozen fruit drinks. Though, let's be honest, one of our fresh frozen fruit drinks would go well with any of those places on the list. Sneak it in your purse or man bag, whatever you choose to carry this season.
For December, eegee’s is boasting the Holly Berry flavor as the Flavor of the Month. You can have this by itself, as a half and half or go all out suicide style. Also, shove a tasty Sausage N’ Peppers in your face. It will help the drink go down.

Have you noticed the new logo on all your eegee's wrappers? Let us know what you think in the reactions below the post!
eegee's opened in 1971 with the following logo. You can still see this logo at some of the eegee's on their marquee signs around town. The logo experienced a bit of a change over the next few years.
A ribbon began to underline the eegee's wording and then a lightning bolt extended through the logo. This logo was the standard for years. You probably grew up with this logo.
Finally, a design firm located in Flagstaff, Arizona created the last known eegee's logo. The firm, We Are William, created a brand you will see in most of the local stores now. This is the logo most people have grown to love. It's simple and easy to recognize.
As eegee's has opened their latest stores, we are beginning to see a new logo emerging. They've begun to drop the whole eegee's word and are opting to use just the E, G and S. It's new and different. Some say the change happened because people were having a hard time pronouncing the spelled out word. Others say it's to follow in the footsteps of McDonald's, Burger King and Dairy Queen who have reduced their names to initials (Ex: M, BK, DQ). For whatever the reason might be, we still love eegee's no matter what they look like.
It's what's on the inside of the bag, not the outside.
eegee's is the latest brand to jump on the Netflix and Chill bandwagon and we want to know what you think. Is it harmless fun, or a classless trend you expect eegee's to be better than? There seem to be a lot of people who have an opinion on this.
If you don't know about Netflix and Chill, it's code for hooking up, banging, bumping uglies etc.
eegee's is a family establishment yes. They want Moms to bring their children in and grab lunch or dinner. Though, eegee's also has a college demographic they need to cater to. This creates a bit of a clash, but where do you draw the line?
Let's get serious for a minute. This post was posted on twitter and 36% of twitter users are under 18. While teen pregnancy is down across America, Arizona teen pregnancy rates are higher than the national average. This is why some people are having issue with brands bringing Netflix and chill into their marketing.
For those students who studying architecture or design, this awesome angle mug is just for you. Stick to warm colored eegee’s to make sure people don’t confuse what your eating with poop.
